Tight and secure

lyledunn

I just wondered how others might view this?

Easy just to tick without really thinking about it, but how could it be determined that conductors are "tight"? Does it mean you just look, give a wee tug or do you burst a blood vessel with an extra twist way beyond manufacturers torque setting?

    Looks simple but is quite compicated. First you would need to determine if the conductors are within the range specified by the manufacturer and then check that the fastenings are within the specified torque range. Does that mean that you should losen them and then retighten to the specified torque?
